Chapter 847: The Tragedy of the Mughal Empire (4)

Dolgon's intention to stall was already obvious, and not a fool could doubt it.

However, although the envoy of the Mughal Empire was in a hurry, and many attempts to negotiate peace were diverted by Dolgon, he still did not give up his intention to continue the peace negotiations.

"Regent of the Great Qing Kingdom, our Majesty is willing to send 20 million silver coins, I hope you can withdraw your troops, and the Mughal Empire and the Great Qing Kingdom will be reconciled from now on and will not invade each other!" The envoy of the Mughal Empire finally couldn't help it, and said the Mughal Emperor's final bottom line in one bite.

20 million silver coins!

This is equivalent to the value of 20 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the current two years of income in the Qing Dynasty!

Just to negotiate peace, the Mughal Empire really gave up its heart.

The Qing generals present all widened their eyes, such conditions were too tempting. Not to mention these generals, even Dolgon's heart jumped slightly when he heard it.

However, it was only a slight jump, and Dorgon instantly pressed down again.

Although 20 million taels of silver is tempting, since the Mughal Empire has made such a bloody investment, what does it mean, it shows that the Mughal Empire must be more than this value, as long as the Mughal Empire is captured, he will definitely be able to get more, and only by conquering such a rich empire can he really have the capital to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Dorgon sneered slightly in his heart, completely unmoved by such conditions.

Below, the envoy of the Mughal Empire stared at Dolgon with dead eyes, and saw that Dolgon also did not respond, and he was already sweating all over his forehead. If such conditions can't persuade the Qing army to retreat, he really doesn't know what to do, and more money empire really can't get out, even if he can take it, he can't continue to increase it, it can be said that this is not only the bottom line of the Mughal emperor, but also the bottom line of the entire Mughal empire.

Just then, a soldier with a white flag ran in.

"Newspaper"

"Regent, the army has invaded the city of Syrsa and is clearing the remnants of the enemy in the city!"

"Good!" Dorgon laughed and stood up.

The surrounding Qing army generals were also smiling and excited.

Once the city of Haryana is captured and enters the Ganges Plain, it will be a flat river, and half of the Mughal Empire will be left to them.

"Command the army, after taking Sylsa, continue to attack Haryana!" Dolgon ordered, not caring that the envoys of the Mughal Empire were still here, and he had no intention of negotiating peace.

Hearing the words of Dolgon and the Qing generals in the Great Tent, the Mughal Empire envoy suddenly sat down on the ground.

Now no matter how stupid the Mughal envoys are, they no longer have hope for peace, from the very beginning, Dolgon's actions are delaying time, and now the Qing army has really captured Sirsa!

Dolgon didn't bother to pay attention to the mood of the Mughal envoys, and led a group of Qing generals out of the big tent, mounted their war horses, and galloped towards the city of Sirsa, leaving the Mughal envoys alone in the big tent.

The Mughal envoy himself didn't know how he got out, and the Qing soldiers didn't embarrass him, allowing him to go back and report to the Mughal emperor.

Delhi, the capital of the Mughal Empire.

There was no need for an envoy to come back to report that the Mughal Emperor had already known about the breakdown of the negotiations, because the news of the capture of the city of Sirsa by the Qing army had already arrived.

The city of Sirsa has fallen, so there is only the last important town left in front of the imperial capital, Haryana City, and Haryana must not be lost again.

"Your Majesty, it's time to give up the peace negotiations and send a large army to fight the Qing army in a decisive battle!" A minister said.

"Since it's all like this, let's fight a decisive battle!" The Mughal emperor gritted his teeth and said.

Since the negotiations are hopeless, then we must not sit idly by, and the emperor must keep it.

"Order the army, immediately march to Haryana City to resist the Qing army!" The Mughal emperor ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers of the main battle faction were overjoyed one by one.

In fact, long before sending people to negotiate peace, the Mughal Empire also made plans for negotiation and failure, and has been gathering troops and horses, after all, no matter what happens, no matter how weak the Mughal emperor is, he is not a fool.

Now a large number of Mughal troops have gathered in the imperial capital of Delhi, and now the Mughal emperor has given an order, and immediately drove to Haryana City, the last important town on the front of Delhi, to resist the Qing army, relying on Haryana City to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army.

In order to achieve victory in the decisive battle with the Qing army, the Mughal emperor dispatched all the soldiers and horses that could be dispatched, a total of 450,000 troops and 3,000 war elephants.

On the other hand, the Qing army also quickly captured several small cities in front of Haryana City, and the troops were under Haryana City.

As a large number of Mughal troops also entered the city of Haryana, the Qing army and the Mughal Empire fought a fierce battle in Haryana.

Because of the siege and plundering all the way, in fact, the Qing army had been sharply reduced to 190,000 at this time, and the number of 450,000 Mughal troops was more than twice that of the Qing army. If you look at it purely in terms of numbers, the Mughal army undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.

However, the Mughal army has always been not very effective, and the same number of Mughal troops could not defeat the Persian Empire and Burma, let alone the fierce Qing army under Dorgon.

Moreover, when the Qing army attacked the city, all the infantry of the Persian banner with the lowest combat effectiveness were dispatched, and the Manchu Eight Banners and the servant cavalry almost did not lose much. What's more, the Qing army had as many as 280 imitation Shenwu field cannons in hand, which was equivalent to the power of more than 800 red-coated cannons.

The "boom boom" battle broke out, and the Qing army immediately began to bombard the city of Haryana.

Shell after shell exploded inside the city of Haryana, inflicting heavy losses on the dense Mughal army in the city.

Although the Mughal Empire did not deploy all 450,000 troops in Haryana City at one time, and Haryana City could not contain so many Mughal troops, more troops remained behind Haryana City to support Haryana City at any time.

However, the 200,000 Mughal troops gathered in Haryana City are already the limit that Haryana City can accommodate, and such a dense number, under such fierce artillery fire of the Qing army, it is natural to inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Not only did the soldiers scurry around, dodging the shells of the Qing army.

The war elephants that remained in the city also scurried around under artillery fire, and many Mughal soldiers were accidentally injured as a result.

The commander of the Mughal army has a dark face, and it is absolutely inappropriate to let the Qing army bombard like this, but it is obviously impossible to give up Haryana City for a decisive battle outside the city, no matter how you rely on Haryana to kill and injure a part of the Qing army first.

It has to be said that the commander of the Mughal army is not exactly a straw bag, quite a brain.
